Memory Aids

I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.
(Beryl Pfizer)

Truth?

Truth is beautiful, without doubt; but so are lies.
(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

A gem from the news quiz

Is the collective term for a lot of political diaries called diarrhoea?
(Paraphrased from Jeremy Hardy)

Welcome

It is equally wrong to speed a guest who does not want to go, and to keep one back who is eager. You ought to make welcome the present guest, and send forth the one who wishes to go.
(Homer, The Odyssey).

So, if you're here of your own valition; welcome, if you'd rather be somewhere else; bugger off already.
